Howdy, I'm looking into maybe running a few Autocross events this season. Not an every weekend deal, but an occasional every other month or so. I have an '86 GT but with '88 body panels and motor/tranny. She runs pretty well, and I'm already upgrading the brakes. My question is .. what are the first modifications I should do on a limited college-student's budget to prepare the suspension for better cornering and Autocross? She hauls, but handles like CRAP right now with the all stock setup. I do have access to welding materials and tools, so anything I might be able to fabricate would also be welcome. I'm running some Goodyear 245s on 15s on the rear and 225 on front. Also, she is a 5-speed. Thanks for any advice/suggestions!
